Work Experience

Bubbly, Singapore - Software Engineer (Dec 2012 - Present)

Working on the platform of the company's sole product Bubbly, a social

messaging service where people share their voice blogs. The current

project of the team focuses on re-architecture of the entire platform and

hence has interesting and enough number of challenges to face every day.

1-click environment on cloud - This project aims at creating the whole

bunch of servers required to launch and configure the bubbly based on

customer specific configurations. Starting from the number of servers,

different roles of the nodes in the hierarchy, the build to deploy and a

lot of other stuffs would vary from operator to operator. All of these were

automated so that these would happen on a single click!

Auditing the cloud instances - The objective of this project was to be cost

effective on the usage of cloud instances. A system was developed to

create; audit; maintain; notify; shutdown; auto-shutdown cloud instances.

This acts as an interface between the third party cloud APIs and codebase

of Bubbly thus providing flexibility to switch cloud services easily.

Automated Test Engine to test the platform of bubbly - A system that tests

the end to end functionality of all the features of Bubbly Platform is

being developed in Python and Java. The challenges of this project are to

trigger the pre-conditions and verifying the post-conditions as the logic

are split across modules and tiers.

Amazon.com India Development Center - Programmer Analyst (May 2011 - Nov

2012)

Worked on key projects of Retails team which drives Amazon's retail

business, the bread and butter of Amazon. Proven ability and effectiveness

in various leadership principles of Amazon especially 'Insist on high

standards', 'Ownership', 'Bias for action' and 'Innovate and simplify'.

Vendor feed integration projects - Integrated a couple of vendors' feed to

add item details data into Amazon's catalog, for close to 2.7 Million

items, adding huge selection and enriching item detail pages of Amazon's

website. Took end-to-end ownership in automating the process and

communicating with business teams across the globe to understand and

implement the business logic.

Designing a portal for feed integration processes - This project aimed at

designing a portal to the business team which helps them integrate meta-

data (item details which could be seen on detail page) from various sources

into Amazon's retail catalog. This was designed to avoid back and forth

communication between engineers and the business team which dragged the

integration time. Challenges involved were mimicking and automating a bunch

of processes, introducing artificial intelligence, designing domain

specific language for non-technical users and a lot more.

Feeds metrics and reports analysis(self-interest kaizen project which

didn't have roadmap time) - The objective was to design a system which

generates a set of metrics and reports required to audit huge feeds,

containing item detail, from various vendors. Metrics should be gathered

for data quality, item addition, enriching details and much more. A high

level design, prototype of the design and cost-benefit analysis was also

done as all data were not readily available.

Deprecating legacy system to rules engine - Migrated the Amazon's item-data

reconciliation business logic from a legacy system to the newer rule based

system. This involved critical analysis of the impact and quality of the

data. This project resulted in reducing time spent on manual analysis of

new data source making it 5X faster and time taken by the system to

reconcile the data 3X faster.

Other projects and operational excellence work - Proactively fixed bugs in

the existing system; introduced test frameworks to the existing systems,

identified potential areas of improvement and contributed towards

optimizing the existing process out of office hours. Worked with business

units of various countries to bring better user experience; to implement

region based business logic on the catalog; to enhance vendor's inventory

data processing and much more.

Internship Experience

eBay IDC, Chennai - Intern, Software Development Engineer ( May 2009 - Nov

2009)

Worked as a full time intern for 7months with the Platform team of eBay

which provides a kernel framework on which the entire code base of the

company runs. The internship project aimed at developing and enhancing an

automated build and merge tool, mICE 2.0. The key goals of this project

includes improving the overall performance and reliability of the tool, to

enhance user experience via UI, to support more than one entry point to the

system by introducing web services and much more.

eBay IPC, Chennai - Intern, Software Development Engineer (Dec 2010 - May

2011)

Worked as a full time intern for 6months with the Platform team of eBay

which develops and maintains various in-house tools along with the kernel

framework of the eBay. As part of this internship two most awaited for

tools were developed.

1) Dashboard for Asset Repository - This project aimed at developing a

reporting system for the asset repository of eBay. The system was designed

to gather required metrics from various sources, manipulate the data, store

in a readily available place, cache it and to keep the data updated. Equal

challenges were involved in generating interactive reports to the end

users.

2) Eclipse Plugin for portal development - An eclipse plugin was

developed to ease the work of portal development for eBay engineers. The

plugin takes care of generating a portal skeleton with various other non-

business functions like authentication, logging etc., so that the engineer

can concentrate on the business logic.
